Locking Phone

I have a Nokia 3650 tri-band mobile phone. How do I go about setting a code and locking the phone so that no one else is able to use it in the event its stolen?

On the 3650 you can setup the factory Sim change pin ("lock code", default is 12345), but it's pretty easy to bypass, it's even better to install this:

PhoneSecure

v1.3.1 November 2003

PhoneSecure is a unique security application for the Series 60 smartphone.

In the event of your phone being stolen, PhoneSecure will allow you to remotely lock the phone by sending a special text message to you phone. Once locked, it will not be possible for the thief to operate your phone, and it can only be unlocked by sending another text message with a password to your phone.

PhoneSecure can also be set to emit a high pitched siren when locked, even if the silent profile is selected, allowing you to locate your phone.
